I've always thought the idea portrayed in the movie Pay It Forward was a really good one. When someone does something nice for us, do we just brush it off, or do we say thank you? It seems like the best way we could ever really repay someone for a kind act would be to pay it forward, think of something equally nice you could do for something else. It's the same way with God. When God blesses us, we'll never really be able to repay him, but the closest we can come to paying our debt is look outside of ourselves and allow ourselves to be instruments in the hands of God to bless the lives of those around us.
I know I'm a total sap, but here's a link to my favorite song/music video of the week. I wasn't able to embed it. It's perfect.

What a sweet thought, Abigail. I think we're all a lot happier when we're grateful and sharing with others.
